You'll have to read the entire article for the criteria used to determine this year's listing. I'm rather surprised that California came in 14th, with all the smog and all that...but not surprised that Louisiana (48) and Mississippi (50) ranked where they did. In other words, as far as your health goes, they're nice places to visit...(no offense to those of you who live in MS and LA...both are beautiful states)

Guess my mind's made up...when I leave God forsaken Oklahoma, I'm goin' to New Hampshire! Maybe a certain Louisiana native will join me there..."you never know".
